Warren Buffett will unveil the newest Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) shareholder letter Saturday, after once again beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/42832123/warren-buffett-beats-sp-500-in-2024-how-oracle-of-omahas-returns-compare-over-past-20-years">S&amp;P 500 in 2024</a>.
Here's a look at what could be included in the legendary investor&#8217;s newest shareholder letter.
What Happened: Each year, Buffett releases a shareholder letter that discusses the market outlook, the performance of Berkshire Hathaway segments and the public stocks it invests in.
Last year's letter was one of the more meaningful and memorable ones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/37301322/the-architect-berkshire-hathaway-warren-buffett-honors-charlie-munger-in-emotional-annual-letter">Buffett penned a detailed tribute</a> to the late Charlie Munger, who Buffett called "the architect of Berkshire Hathaway."
On Saturday, there could be moments of tribute to Munger once again. The <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/letters.html">letter </a>will likely revolve more around current Berkshire Hathaway investments and operating segments.
"I am charged with writing a letter every year that will be useful to this diverse and ever-changing group of owners, many of whom wish to learn more about their investment," Buffett said in last year's letter.
You may not be a billionaire like Warren Buffett, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43419547/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-52">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
What Could Be In The 2024 Letter: There are hundreds of items that Buffett could cover in the 2024 annual letter.
One area covered in recent years is handpicking several stocks that are said to leave him feeling comfortable among the non-controlled stock investments. In 2022, he picked Coca-Cola and American Express. In 2023, Occidental Petroleum and the basket of Japanese stocks made the cut.
The question is: Which companies will Buffett pick for 2024? After selling Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares several times in recent quarters, Buffett held tight in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43756510/berkshire-hathaway-adjusts-portfolio-keeps-apple-stake-unchanged-offloads-stakes-in-bofa">the fourth quarter</a>. Buffett often praises the technology giant — a staple in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio in recent years. Is there enough to call the company one of the most comfortable investments going forward?
If Apple doesn't make the cut, Buffett could still profile the company and its future growth. The stock still makes up a large weighting in the company's investment portfolio.
Buffett could profile newer investments in the shareholder letter. In recent quarters, Buffett's company has added to its stakes in Domino's Pizza (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>) and Pool Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>). Berkshire Hathaway also took an initial 5,624,324 share position in Constellation Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>) in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43795579/warren-buffett-unfazed-by-trumps-tariff-threats-oracle-of-omaha-bets-on-mexico-beer">the fourth quarter.</a>
Buffett likely won't comment on whether it was he who made the investment decisions or an advisor. He also won&#8217;t likely indicate whether the company is done buying shares. Yet, investors would love more color on the reasoning behind the purchases. Buffett could share more on if the stocks were added as defensive names due to macroeconomic concerns or if there is growth or undervaluation that caught the firm's attention.
Succession is another topic that has been brought up in recent years. Last year's shareholder letter cited Greg Abel as the handpicked leader of the company after Buffett. Considering Buffett is 94 years old, investors are likely looking for more commentary on how and when the succession could take place, or how much control Abel currently has over the company.
The shareholder letter will also dive into the companies that are owned by Berkshire Hathaway, which could provide a good outlook on how sectors like insurance, railroads and consumer products are doing. Duracell, a Berkshire company, made its first ever<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43598736/super-bowl-commercials-2025-complete-list-of-super-bowl-lix-ads-and-companies-behind-them"> Super Bowl commercial </a>earlier this month. Buffett&#8217;s writing about that decision could provide a great marketing lesson for the value of Super Bowl ads.
While Buffett doesn't get too political, commentary on the new White House administration, international markets, tariffs and rate cuts could all be items closely watched by investors.
Price Action: Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares trade at $479.82 versus a 52-week trading range of $395.66 to $491.67. The stock is up 6.3% year-to-date in 2025 and up 17.2% over the last year.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, trades at $600.27. The ETF is up 2.7% year-to-date in 2025 and up 20.7% over the last year.
Berkshire is currently outperforming the SPY in 2025, but lagging on a 52-week basis.

Consumer Sentiment Drops 10%, UnitedHealth Under Investigation: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Domino&#8217;s Pizza, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>) will release its fourth-quarter financial results before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DPZ/earnings">opening bell on Monday, Feb. 24.</a>
Analysts expect the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based company to report quarterly earnings at $4.91 per share, up from $4.48 per share in the year-ago period. Domino&#8217;s projects quarterly revenue of $1.48 billion, compared to $1.4 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On Feb. 20, RBC Capital analyst Logan Reich reiterated Domino&#8217;s Pizza with an Outperform rating and maintained a $500 price target.
With the recent buzz around Domino&#8217;s, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. As of now, Domino&#8217;s offers an annual dividend yield of 1.27%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of $1.51 per share ($6.04 a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Domino&#8217;s, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Domino&#8217;s $6.04 dividend: $6,000 / $6.04 = 993 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $468,458 worth of Domino&#8217;s, or 993 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $6.04 = 199 shares, or $93,880 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
DPZ Price Action: Shares of Domino&#8217;s fell by 0.8% to close at $471.76 on Thursday.

How To Earn $500 A Month From Domino's Pizza Stock Ahead Of Q4 Earnings

RBC Capital Markets analyst Logan Reich reiterated the Outperform rating on Domino&#8217;s Pizza Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DPZ/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $500.</a>
Domino&#8217;s will report its fourth-quarter results on 24th February, before the market opens.
The analyst remains curious about U.S. demand trends and market share, given competitors&#8217; results, potential partnership with DoorDash, Inc, and improvements in the international business.
The analyst notes that while Uber Technologies, Inc&#8217;s exclusivity agreement ends at the end of the first quarter, a potential renewal or new partnership with DoorDash could be announced.
Per the analyst, extending Uber&#8217;s exclusivity would be negative, as investors may interpret it as a sign of weaker demand, given that DoorDash&#8217;s market share in the U.S. is roughly three times that of Uber&#8217;s.

This apart, Reich notes that with Yum! Brands, Inc. already reporting and Papa John&#8217;s International, Inc. having preannounced, the interest in U.S. category growth is somewhat reduced heading into Domino&#8217;s earnings.
The analyst writes that Domino&#8217;s will continue to gain market share due to its strong value positioning and marketing advantage over &#8220;independent&#8221; pizza businesses.
However, for the fourth quarter, the U.S. same-store sales estimate is lowered to 1.0% due to softer category growth, compared to the consensus of 1.3%.
Price Action: DPZ shares are trading lower by 1.14% to $469.93 at last check Thursday.

Citigroup Maintains Neutral on Domino's Pizza, Raises Price Target to $520

Berkshire Hathaway, under the leadership of&nbsp;Warren Buffett, has amplified its investments in&nbsp;Domino&#8217;s Pizza Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>),&nbsp;Pool Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>), and&nbsp;Constellation Brands, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>).
What Happened: According to the recent 13F filings, Berkshire&#8217;s investment in Pool Corp escalated from approximately&nbsp;$152 million to $204 million.&nbsp;Its stake in Domino&#8217;s Pizza also witnessed a substantial surge from nearly $549 million to $1 billion. Furthermore,&nbsp;Berkshire initiated a significant stake&nbsp;in Constellation Brands, estimated at around $1.2 billion.
Investment experts speculate that these investment choices were probably made by Todd Combs or Ted Weschler, who manage smaller investment portfolios at Berkshire Hathaway, reports <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/02/15/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-stocks-pool-dominos-ulta-beer-wine/">the </a>Fortune. Currently, the company holds a cash reserve&nbsp;valued at more than $300&nbsp;billion.
During the same period, Berkshire retained&nbsp;its $75 billion stake in&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) while reducing its stakes in&nbsp;Bank of America Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>),&nbsp;Citigroup Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), and&nbsp;Capital One Financial Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>).

Interestingly, Berkshire completely divested its stake in&nbsp;Ulta Beauty Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>). The company&#8217;s annual letter to shareholders, which usually sheds light on its investment decisions, is due later this month.
Why It Matters: Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s recent investment decisions indicate a strategic shift towards companies that have demonstrated resilience and growth potential amidst market volatility. 
The significant increase in stakes in Domino&#8217;s Pizza, Pool Corp, and the initiation of a substantial stake in Constellation Brands, underscores Berkshire&#8217;s confidence in these companies&#8217; future performance. 
The divestment from Ulta Beauty and the trimming of stakes in several major banks suggest a cautious approach towards sectors that may face headwinds in the current economic climate.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Domino's Pizza's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Domino's Pizza's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.70%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Domino's Pizza 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Barclays analyst Jeffrey A. Bernstein has outlined top themes to watch out for in the U.S. restaurants in 2025.
The restaurant industry, according to the analyst, is experiencing mixed results as it navigates a volatile environment heading into the third quarter of 2024.
A recent preview highlighted that many companies have struggled to meet expectations regarding same-store sales and earnings per share, noted the analyst.
Despite these challenges, most have shared optimistic outlooks on recent sales trends.
As 2024 progresses, the key focus remains the consumer outlook, which has been unpredictable. On a positive note, unemployment rates remain near record lows, and wages continue to rise, contributing to a healthy increase in real disposable income, the analyst added.
Inflation has also eased, allowing the Federal Reserve to slow down its rate changes, said the analyst.
However, the analyst warned that the cost of living, including high rent and basic expenses, continues to pressure consumers.
Consumer confidence has remained lower than pre-pandemic levels, and many restaurants are working to improve traffic by offering greater value in response to inflation concerns.
Commodity inflation, excluding coffee, has shown signs of normalization and December 2024 saw a year-on-year increase of around 16%, mainly driven by coffee prices, asserted the analyst.
Restaurants are expecting mid-single-digit inflation in 2025, assuming current prices hold and the industry is hoping for a more stable cost environment that can support margins amidst uncertain sales projections, added the analyst.
The analyst expressed concern about labor costs and said while wage inflation has slowed from the peaks seen during 2021 and 2022, December 2024 saw a year-on-year wage increase of 10.3%.
In menu pricing, restaurants are easing the aggressive price hikes seen in recent years and overall, the industry is moving towards smaller price increases as commodity and labor inflation stabilizes, said the analyst.
The analyst upgraded both Shake Shack Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>) and Dutch Bros Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>) to Overweight from Equal Weight.
The analyst downgraded Bloomin&#8217; Brands Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>) and Dine Brands Global Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIN#NYSE">DIN</a>) to Equal Weight from Overweight.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Domino's Pizza Stock In The Last 20 Years

In the current market session, Domino's Pizza Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>) share price is at $431.24, after a 0.06% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 9.49%, but in the past year, increased by 4.55%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735222516_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Domino's Pizza P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Domino's Pizza has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 81.76 of the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735222516_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
